From the November 12,2021, CVBJ.biz site "Veterans Day: These are the main wars the US has participated in."
This site is calling the War of 1812 the Anglo-American War (1812-1815).
Here is what it says:
"Also known as the 'Anglo-American War' or 'War of 1812'. It was a war that pitted the United States against the United Kingdom and its Canadian colonies.
"Among other causes of the war are the restrictions placed on trade imposed by the United Kingdom because of the war in Europe against France, the forced recruitment of US merchant sailors to serve in the British Royal Navy and British support of the indigenous peoples of North America who opposed the expansion of the US.
"The confrontations took place by land and sea. 286,730 Americans served, among these were 2,260 deaths and 4,505 wounded."
Well, Which is It? --Brock-Perry
